Dramarama

Top 80 Songs of 1986

Thrills, pill and $100 bills. New year, new attitude, best exemplified by legends Depeche Mode and the Smiths becoming icons. Duran Duran found new life with Notorious career-reviver Nile Rodgers, and Iggy Pop continued to be one real wild child. From Fine Young Cannibals and the Blow Monkeys classing up the joint to Love and Rockets and Psychedelic Furs keeping things trippy, it was a year of sonic surrealism and questionable fashion trends.
